Form an LPG Syndicate
Did anyone see the programme “Don’t get done get Dom“, an investigative BBC programme which looked in to pricing of LPG from suppliers and in particular Flogas.
I urge you to try and get a download and take a look as it’s all very useful information.
To sum up the LPG prices vary with EACH individual, in other words you could be paying 50p a litre whereas your next door neighbour could be paying 35p, (as shown in this programme). The way to get round this is to combine in to a syndicate and approach the LPG supplier to negotiate a better price.
The Village of Winkleigh in Devonwhich which was shown in the programme, saved on average £400 per person and in total saved £14000!
Get this, a financial expert interviewed on the programme reckoned a good deal would be approx 35p PL or LESS!
I thought I had a reasonable deal with Calor at 40p PL but I’m certain that the price can be brought down further. So if anyone around the Gloucestershire area is buying LPG from Calor then reply to me on this website and lets see if we can get a syndicate going to reduce the price.
There are 4.2 million people currently using LPG in this country and it looks as if we are being stitched up by LPG suppliers who do not have to answer to offgem.
Check out the following addresses for further details.

Great site. A lot of useful information here. I’m sending it to some friends!
I watched the programme this morning, very useful. I am currently paying 42.40p per litre of LPG from Calor. An amazing coincidence as the postman delivered a letter this morning, from Calor, stating that “due to the sustained high propane cost, with effect from the 1st June 2010, your price will increase 5.5 pence per litre (plus VAT)” Scandalous in my opinion!!! Gavin, North Wales!
Hi
we have just moved to a house on the Hereford/Glos border that has a Calor gas tank with LPG being it’s main heating source. As we need to fill the tank I looked on the web to try to find what sort of prices we should be expecting to pay and found your sight very useful.
Do you have knowledge of any LPG syndicates that exist in my area that we could join? Our post code is HR9
regards
Jane
Hi Jane, Apologies I don’t, but my best advise is to be nosey and have look in neighbours garden to see if you can spot an LPG tank, then just go in and inquire what company they use, that’s what I did and ended up with 10 houses in our syndicate. Even if they are not with the same supplier you will be interested to see what they have to say and I’ll bet they will be glad to talk to someone about it!

I live in a Park home in Lanarkshire and currently pay 55.4 pence per litre which is way above any of the prices paid by the Winkleigh residents and on top of that I pay a daily charge of 16.44 pence per day for the use of their tank!!!! Are there any others getting screwed like me?????
Yes Charlie there are plenty getting screwed and once more they don’t realise that most likely their next door neighbour is probably paying a lot less or a lot more. It seems the LPG suppliers change prices whenever they get the chance, especially if there is a crisis or disaster thats effect oil!
We are on Calor Gas and are paying 52.4p In Cambridgeshire.
Thanks Carol – Who can beat 52.4p PL?
We are paying 52.4p to Calor in Cambridgeshire
